Kingdom Hearts III Release Date Officially Set for 2019!

11 June 2018

We love it so much that we can nearly forgive the fourteen year wait between Kingdom Hearts II and its true sequel, Kingdom Hearts III. The long-awaited action-roleplaying game will be out on January 29, 2019, the publisher says. Square Enix has just announced that the game will be coming in January.

Nomura said regarding the release date, "I'm sorry that we're asking for a little more time than initially planned".

That seems like it would be a ideal announcement to hold for its press conference, but Square Enix instead opted to reveal the release date during the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour.

For the first time, Kingdom Hearts III will be visiting Pixar worlds as well, including Toy Story and Monsters, Inc.

A follow-up tweet noted that trailers and more information will be coming at E3.

It's the news pretty much all Kingdom Hearts fans have been waiting to hear during E3 2018, and it looks like it's a bitter sweet moment. News of the Kingdom Hearts 3 release date broke on Twitter earlier this evening.

Interestingly, a new trailer was also showed during the concert, featuring the likes of Tangled and Ratatouille.
